An article in the latest edition of the Radio Times gives us the lowdown on a programme in which the Duchess of York teaches poor people how to live healthily and frugally.
First a quote from Her Grace, "I could live in a council house and below the benefit line, of course."
Next a personal detail from the article; the duchess, while living well above the benefit line (albeit from the public purse), managed to get into debt to the tune of £4million.
How can anyone take this woman seriously?
Two things I want to know -
i) How much the notorious freeloader was paid for this exploitation of the disadvantaged for amusement of the middle class?
ii) The identity of the shit-for-brains hooray henry who spawned this joke in bad taste.

It seems that the programme is an attempt by the duchess to improve her image in Britain as she wants to return from the United States. So the Eurotrash circuit has done with her and the freebies have dried up. Now she's a proud Brit.

It would be hypocritical of me to propose a boycott of the insult when I intend to try and watch it, if only because it is my concitoyens, the people of Hull, who are once more the target southern middle class baiting.
